Crowing
Thank you. I've felt so confused. I was like, yes those are saddle feathers alright, but why don't you crow? Or mate? Or stand up?Good grief, I am glad that I am not the only one. Two summers ago, I had a black pullet for months - never crowed, did not stand up... one day, I am thinking - when are you going to lay some eggs, and took a good look. Yep, a late blooming cockerel. I have had chickens for DECADES!

And the very weird thing is that the one I thought was a pullet hatched first and is bigger -- but the little black fella is dominant. I guess he just matured more quickly.
